I will be installing twowired cams in my house soon and i want to know if it will run into any problems when running rg174. I want to use 174 or Cat 5 because i can run two runs of 174 in the space it takes to run one run of rg 59 or 58. Can 174 be used for video or will i run into problems.
If not 174 then how about the twisted pairs of cat5e. I have two cams i want to run from my attic to the basement which is easy as long as I am using something equal to the size of cat5e or smaller. Basically I am running down the side of the return for my air conditioner which is a straight shot but when i exit the area i only have a very small slit that i can come through and anything bigger than cat5 wont work. On top of that Id rather run either one cat5 or two 174's and not 2 rg59's if I can get away with it.
